Leave No Trace (2018)
A Very American Story About Survival
Debra Granik is most known for 2004’s Down to the Bone, which starred Vera Farmiga, 2010’s Winter’s Bone, which starred Jennifer Lawrence in her breakout performance and for which Granik was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, and for this film Leave No Trace (2018) based on the book My Abandonment by Peter Rock.
“When the movie opens, the young teenage girl, Tom (Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie), and her father, Will (Ben Foster), aren’t just living — foraging, surviving, apparently thriving – in the forest, they are existing in a state of willed invisibility”. – Manohla Dargis NY Times
Will and Tom, father and daughter, live a perfect but mysterious existence in Forest Park, a beautiful nature reserve near Portland, Oregon, rarely making contact with the world. But when a small mistake tips them off to authorities, they are sent on an increasingly erratic journey in search of a place to call their own.
In “Leave No Trace,” she [Granik] immediately sets you down in a forest that’s so inviting, so tranquil, that it seems like utopia and all the possibilities that wistful, elusive ideal implies” – Manohla Dargis NY Times
